Description

Silver-coloured cylindrical metal wand with a circular glass window at one end and a black, plastic-coated cord coming out the other. The cord splits into two finer cords at the end, one of which has a round single-prong plug at the end. The cord is coiled around itself. The window-end of the wand also has a small magnifying glass and a trumpet-shaped tube which pivot around a post protruding from the wand.
